[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids. I do not have a spare kid.

I did have 2 boys and wanted to go for a girl. I got my girl. &lt;3[/quote]

I hope you don't say sh$$ like this out loud.  We all know you are thinking it, but it sounds really juvenile and shallow.

All my friends know I wanted a girl. No secret she was wanted and loved. Obviously love my boys.

World is full of people who want a boy to carry on the family name.[/quote]

I don't get why DCUMers are so scandalized by gender preference. I wanted a girl. I got one. She has been everything I hoped would happen if I got a girl: my shopping buddy, my manicure tagalong, even picks out my outfits for weddings and helped me do the interior decor after our remodel. I also have two boys. I have a really rich and wonderful life. [/quote]

Part of (but not all of) the reason I didn’t have a third was I was terrified it would be a boy. I have two girls and wanted a third girl if I had another one. I love having girls and really just couldn’t/can’t picture myself with boys. I’m not embarrassed by this. I really don’t think I would have done well with the noise and impulsiveness of boys.

You're not embarrassed by the fact that you stereotype an entire gender, to the point where you don't think you could have figured out how to capably raise a boy?

I'd be embarrassed by that.
